Thread: 2004 john deere 777 zero turn

I have a chance to buy a 2004 john deere 777 zero turn mower with 3300 hrs on it. I was wondering if $4,000.00 would be a good deal to buy this mower it has been re painted and in excellent shape well cared for. please give me some feed back on this. thanks!

That is a lot of hours for that amount of money. I would be scared of it unless it had a new engine and hydro pumps. I have always heard that even if a machine has been taken care of about 2500 to 3000 max hours and its is worn out. I would not give more than about 1200 for this if that much.

Stunned that someone got 3300 hours on a Deere 777. I started having major issues with mine used residentially to mow 12 acres at only 330 hours (kamakaze pump blew its guts into a drive motor and it has never run right after three years of dealer hassles). the deck holds up but hydraulics are weak

With the exceptiion of Wild Bill's comments, I agree with the general consensus of everybody. It's not worth the money. You might want to pass on it unless you can buy it cheap, can get a cheap source for parts, are mechanically inclined, and want a project to occupy your limited free time.
